Rehab dog of the week is Rex!
Our spotted friend comes to see us for an iliopsoas injury after he had TPLO surgery. He's cool as a cucumber in his laser glasses.

Work out Wednesday featuring Huckleberry!
Ashley is stimulating Huckleberry's rear feet to promote him to flex and extend his rear legs after being paralyzed in the rear end from a back injury. He's come a long way from the beginning of his rehab journey with only getting a slight wiggle out of his toes. This is the only time we allow our patients to kick the rehab team! 😉
Work our Wednesday featuring Cydney!
Ashley is performing an iliopsoas stretch on Cydney, this is the hip flexor muscle. We're doing this to help keep the muscle loose and prevent injury. This muscle affects key lower body movements that affect jumping, sitting, standing and turning.
NEW TO REHAB! We are now using hot stones during the patients appointments to help relax their muscles before or after acupuncture or rehab appointments.
Work out Wednesday featuring Griffin!
Ashley and Griffin are working on high 5s in this segment. It is a good exercise for shoulder and elbow extension for his elbow deformity that he was born with. #dogrehabilitation #dogtherapy
Work out Wednesday featuring Cyra!
Day at rehab with Cyra! She had TPLO surgery late last year, so we're working on strengthening her surgical leg and hoping 🤞 to prevent having surgery on the other leg in the future. Cyra gets the royal treatment when she comes in of underwater treadmill, floor exercises and laser therapy.
Work out Wednesday featuring Petra!
Kristine and Petra are working on some advanced training over at rehab. This setup requires a good sense of balance & proprioception. While also working on core and all limb strengthening.
Work out Wednesday featuring Lyra!
Ashley and Lyra are working on muscle training in the rear legs on multiple uneven surfaces with the Bosu ball and fit pads. This is a more difficult exercise due to the uneven surfaces, but Lyra is a willing participant with cookies on hand! #veterinaryrehabilitation #caninerehab
Work out Wednesday featuring Huckleberry!
Ashley and Huckleberry are working on getting him back to walking after having surgery! We are utilizing his cart for stabilization while Ashley gaits his rear legs to move normally without dragging them behind. He's got some big goals of walking his mama down the aisle one day! #caninerehab #dogtherapy #veterinaryrehabilitation
Work out Wednesday featuring Cydney!
Today we are utilizing the underwater treadmill to help her improve her range of motion, strengthen her muscles and boost endurance. The buoyancy of the water minimizes the impact on her joints while increasing resistance on her muscles. This is one way we can help keep our senior patients and post op surgery patients mobile! #veterinaryrehabilitation #watertherapyfordogs
Work out Wednesday featuring Lyra!
Kristine is working on side stepping on foam mats with front legs elevated on an uneven surface. This exercise is meant to be done slowly and controlled to focus on front and rear leg strengthening and body awareness.

Dr. McQueen is performing Aqua injections on Maggie after her acupuncture session. Aqua is B12 and a sterile saline mixture that is injected to create a stimulus at a specific acupoint. #dogacupuncture
